Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence has given a positive update on the planned revival show, following the divisive ninth and final season.
Per TV Line, Lawrence comes out in defense of Scrubs season 9, which was widely panned by critics and audiences, insisting that he was lucky to have made it, and that those involved have gone on to have successful careers. He also opined that had the season been a spinoff, it would not have been judged as harshly, but that he understood why it wasn’t. He concludes by stating that the Scrubs reboot will be called Scrubs, and will start with Turk and JD.
“I hate the narrative, like, ‘Oh, the ninth year sucked.’ No, it didn’t. It’s sour grapes, whatever, I’m so lucky to have done it. I didn’t get to work on [that season] as much, but that writing staff did a great job, and I think Kerry Bishé, Michael Mosley, Eliza Coupe and Dave Franco have all gone on to have great careers because they were really good.
If it had been a spinoff called Scrubs: Med or Scrubs: Med School, it would not have been judged as harshly, but I understand the business of that [decision]. This one is [also] called Scrubs, and it starts with JD and Turk.”
